You Haven’t Changed a Bit and Other Lies

“Uproarious!” splash magazines. Renowned playwright Jerry Mayer recently turned 90, his pen and wit sharp as ever. Currently completing his 11th play, he took time to revisit the acclaimed musical he wrote with son Steve. Now, the Santa Monica Playhouse premiere of this brand-new incarnation of the riotous and poignant musical has been extended. “Heartfelt look at three married couples in their 60s and their personal and senior moment-induced tribulations.” LA Times. From the hilarious Role Reversal Tango to the tongue-firmly-in-cheek tribute to the not-so-firm Upper Arms of the over 60s set to the heart-wrenching Whatever Happened to Our Love Song, the Mayer team’s brilliance shines brightly on the trials and tribulations of “aging” – lovingly dissected, shredded, massaged and re-formed, through the eyes of three married couples – Jewish, Italian, Irish – planning a renewal of vows. But much has changed. Will they make it to the altar again? Only time, and the Mayer team, will tell.
